Look at that list, then look at the date.

Well ninty didn't buy em that's for sure.

No surprise but slightly disappointing.

As long we're still getting Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, I'm happy. :)

very disapointing because Nintendo is sitting on this pile of money and they refuse to spend any of it which is really unfortunate because money is what makes good relationships with 3rd party devs and also what gets you great games

This is a pretty.... poor statement on a number of levels.

First off, buying atlus would make them 1st party, not 3rd party.

Second, Nintendo just purchased monolith soft two years ago, then promptly released a game that is unanimously declared one of the best of the generation. And according to monolith soft, that was just a 'test run' for what they really want to do.

They also just bought several brand new multimillion dollar buildings to expand the sizes of retro and monolith soft.

They also just COMPLETELY FUNDED two third party games.

They are GIVING AWAY DEVKITS AND LICENSED ENGINES FOR FREE.

Nintendo is a games only company. Sony and microsoft are giant conglomerates with a games division. Thats why they can burn so much more money than their games division is even worth. Neither sony, nor microsoft, has made a profit off of their consoles this gen. Yes, the ps3 and 360 HAVE become profitable the last few years, but those profits dont yet put a dent in all the money they lost before hand.

Trying to emulate that would be suicide for a games only company.

I never expected Nintendo to buy Atlus.

 

It could have been good, but oh well.


Bring the noise.

I never expected or wanted them to buy Atlus since I don't like JRPGs or any of the shovelware that they made.

How doesn't it confirm it, if Nintendo bought Atlus, then they would DEFINITELY not be a third party company making games for Sony...

Why?
Did Nintendo buy them a year ago when Sony was putting money down every third party's panties?

You're going to have to be a lot less vague, I honestly have NO IDEA what you are talking about right now.

It's not a vague question.
I asked you since you know so much about Nintendo buying companies, when Nintendo proposed to buy atlus.

>Atlus
>Shovelware



On topic: This link literally confirms nothing other than that Sony is being more negotiable with third parties.

If Sony HAD bought Atlus, I'm very certain they wouldn't be listed as a third party developer.

If anything, the fact that Sony is still listing them as a third party developer is promising as it means that none of the big 3 have bought them to be a second or first party developer.

Locking thread.

Is Atlus popular here in the west?
